Questions from Glenboig

Are there extra charges for Glenboig?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How we handle bath resealing in Glenboig

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Glenboig

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Glenboig

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Glenboig, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Glenboig

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
